Scipio

Keaton came and got me with a nice-sized F650 flatbed. They used to have four guys but whether it was Covid, rising gas prices or what, it's now just him and his dad.

He unloaded Phoebe onto the slab next to the building and said his Dad'd be by later or bright and early in the morning.

As evening came on, I strolled across to the 76 Station where I met Frazier. Frazier ran out of gas money and since the 76 was hiring, he's now a cashier.

The Baaaahth

A former manager of a wastewater processing plant in Pennsylvania, he comes out to attend Burning Man. He's been modifying a 30-foot motorhome and his explanation of  wastewater treatment just naturally segued to his Nature's Head composting toilet.

My "Veranda" & the Scipio Hotel

Since the "processing" by the bacteria only occurs on the surface, the material has to be rotated. Thus, you'll notice in the picture (in the link above) the crank on the side.

From there we went to a small, rechargeable pump (from Kitchenboss) that screws onto a 5-gallon jug and can remember how much water you got. He'd changed out the shower for a better one and heats his water with a Wadeco water heater. After about forty-five minutes I was exhausted and tottered home.

Between the traffic noise and the kleig lights in the hotel's parking lot, it's alot like Albuquerque.
